The French versions are actually license built by Peugeot and have Peugeot engines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_P4

It’s quite hard to judge because it is hard to know what the triggers in thar car market will be with the move to BEV etc? Having said that using history as a guide and ignoring the obvious supercar exotics, the Shelby GT500 is probably a safe bet, similarly the Camaro ZL1 1LE package.

As someone in the UK that is easily NP. A similar year / condition here would be double (that is somewhat unusual as I’m think og of moving to the US most used cars there seem to be significantly more money right now. I’d be tempted to do a manual gearbox conversion and get some of the smaller Euro bumpers

Neutral; I’m the ‘oh you like cars can you give me some advice on what to buy type of person’. I usually say if you don’t have any interest in cars buy a Ford Focus or maybe a Volkswagen Golf, it covers all the important bases for what people need in a car in the UK (where I am).

From what I’ve read on this (there are articles on both Motorsport Magazine and the website the-race.com) the issue is they are racing spec realtively low power machines which are very easy to ride. This is resulting in large packs of bikes very close together with very bad results if someone comes off in the middle…

NP all they way even if the asking price is more the starting point of the costs. 

The hate seems to mainly come from the US. The 1st Gen sold very well in Europe where it could also be had with a wider range of engines and 5/6 speed manuals. It even has a second Gen over here instead of the Kicks

Here is a comprehensive study done in the UK over the first six months of the year on breakthrough cases. Couple of potential key differences to the US, though; our vaccine rollout was done on a age / health issues basis, so the majority of double vaxxed people up to July would have been over 45 (not sure if that is…

To be fair when I was a kid my Dad had a very second hand Bentley Mulsanne (the rebadged Silver Spirit). Seats were super comfy but the ride always made me feel car sick.

i like it but I don’t $23,000 like it ND.

It is unlikely that any vaccination requirement (there is no legal requirement to do so, although the government is looking at a requirement for care workers looking after the elderly in care homes) has much to do with this. The UK over 16 population is around 82% fully vaccinated and 90% single vaccinated. No doubt…

The UK haulage industry has a staffing problem largely because it is a shitty job that no one wants to do. The average age of a truck driver in the UK is 55 and more are retiring than joining the industry. You can also add a COVID related huge backlog in Truck license test applications and insurance being reluctant to…

Agreed, and until it really started to come down it was not a clear cut decision whoever was making it. Alpha Tauri told Gasly to stay out when he wanted to come in, Ferrari weren’t sure either and hedged their bets with Sainz pitting for inters and Leclerc staying out (possibly motivated by him having relatively…

Lol you have earned your star. I think the Pontiac Fiero engine, and chassis swap for much of the chase might have had something to do with that!

I suspect he was referring to the R&D people specifically here but the general question of - do you need less people to make BEV’s  along with less people to maintain them mean that a wholesale move to EV production will result in less people being employed in the car manufacturing industry and follow on aftersales…

Kinja won’t let me reply directly to the comment that arguably the 360 was a bigger step on from the 355 than the 348 was. In terms of technical specification and ease of maintenance etc yes the 360 is certainly a huge step on from a 355 and I nearly suggested it for that reason. However the 360 is improving on a car…

You can argue it is more of a heavy facelift than a whole new car but the jump from Ferrari 348 to 355 was huge in terms of performance and dynamic ability.

I think around 2005 F1 racing magazine asked the teams what would they come up with if there were no rules and you could make an unlimited F1 car. I think it was Williams (then a much more front running team than today who came up with the most detailled proposal. It would have had 6 wheels four driven at the back and…

An Autotempest search only turned up one M100 Elan for sale in the US which is asking more than twice the money for this with more miles on it. I suspect this is one of those cars that is niche enough to be absolutely NP for a small number of people who really like these cars.

The Trump livery is not that bad it just looks like a generic airline livery (and not that dissimilar to British Airways livery in the 90's which perhaps is not the intended look). The current livery is iconic though.
